The Extinct Australian Lion.

1t has long been a disputed point, and
indeed a vexed question, as to whether
the so called great Australian lion ever
existed. Some interesting discoveries,
however, have been recently made in the
Wellington caves, New South Wales, of
u~ndoubted remains of this animal. The
bones are at present deposited in the
Mines Department museum, Sydney, and
consist of several very complete jawbones,
containing the teeth in an excellent state
of preservation. Prior to being publicly
exhibited they were submitted to the in
spection Of Professor Sir Richard Owen,
of the British museum, and his opinion is
that the animal was a marsupial or pouch
bearing lion, fully equal in size to the ex-
isting African species. Discoveries of
leonine remains nave at various times
been made in New South Wales and also
in Victoria, and the specimens in question
are well preserved. They ave been ex-
cavated from post pleiocene deposits, and
in connection with them were the remains
of what are known as the Tasmanian tiger
and the Tasmanian devil.
An equally interesting fact is that Pro-
fessor Owen, when referring many years
ago to the herbivorous characteristics of the
Australian Diprotodon,n expressed HIS
conviction that some large ~carnivorous
animal must nave been coeXistent with
him, to keep the race in check, and that
probably lions then inhabited Australia, a
hypothesis which has been fully verified.
These facts are interesting, as helping to
establish the fact of the existence in
former ages of the lion in Australia

How true is 1t that few of us know
what we are really eating. The manner
in which a cultured appetite can be de-
ceived with a most plebeian morsel is thus
related:
"a bet was recently made by two
French gourmands, one of which asserted
that he could detect the component parts
of any dish set before him, the other bet
ting Mt great odds that he would not be
able to tell the material wherewith his
cook would prepare a 'savory dish for
them. The bet was taken, the one conf
dent in his quick natural sense, the other
in the skill of his cook. The cook-a
Frenchman-of course, exerted all his tai
ents and surpassed all praise. The dish
was placed before the knowing epicure.

modern Innovation. In Me.ico.

Nothing could possibly be more appro-
pirate and becoming to these dark eyed
Mexicanos than their wide sombreros,
short jackets, silver bedecked breeches
and gorgeous silken sashes; and for beau
tiful women OF the Spanish and Indian
type, the graceful lace mantilla draped
about the head and shoulders. But now
every woman of fashion must ave a hid
eous hat or hOnnet-a la Americana; and
the men of wealth no longer promenade
the plazas in those ~distracting Spanish
cloaks, with one satin lined corner tossed
over the shoulder, which are warranted to
make the plainest and most unromantic
of men look like a veritable Romeo. Now
they insist upon London made garments,
as nearly like those of northerners as pos
sible, regardless of the vast difference in
makeup of the Anglo-Saxon and Latin
races.
The broad brimmed, silver laden SOM
brero, too, so prettily adapted to the
eternal sunshine and so becoming to
swarthy skins and midnight eyes, must
give place to the stiff little hats in vogue
among Americans, in many instances, /
grieve to add, those i~ncomparably ugly
silken tiles which make the handsomest
Mexican look like a fool of the first water.
Even the lower classes are fast d~iscarding
the serape, that most picturesque and
convenient of wrappings, and adopting in
its stead any kind of shoddy overcoat for
evening wear. Formerly one of the
charms of every rural gathering was the
vivid coloring produced by the multitude
of bright hued serape, each ranchero and
half breed wearing one slung over his
shoulders, II regarding it, next to his
sOmbrero, as his most precious earthly
possession.-Mexico Letter.

Vienna has long been VIGOROUSLY one OF
the dearest cities in Europe to live in, and
the milliners of the Donaustadt have made
up their minds that they, at least, will do
nothing likely to make 1t cheaper. The
cheap MANILA hats that are to be bought in
London shops for a few pence are very
popular just now among the Viennese
ladies-largely, no doubt, because they re-
quire but little trimming, and are indeed
most killing when most modestly
adorned. Naturally, the milliners are an
noycd at this singular preference for the
cheap and becoming, and they nave had n
meeting to consider what ought to be
done. 1t was decided to try to bring the
penny hats into contempt, and a day or
two later a large number of scavengers
and crossing sweepers made their appear
ance wearing the detested manillas. Vienna
has had Il good laugh at the cleverness of
the milliners, but whether their strategy
will have the desired effect remains to be
seen.-St. James Gazette.

A novelty in the line Of engine build
ing is just now attracting the attention
of engineers and builders. 1t is a loco
motive designed by M. Estrada, graduate
of L'Ecole Polytechnique, which is to be
experimental with on the southern lines
of France. The ley locomotive depends
on its large sized driving wheels for the
speed of seventy-eight miles per hour,
which it is expected to attain. The en-
gine, tender and coaches are fitted with
wheels eight and one-quarter feet in di-
ameter. The engine is of the outside
cylinder type, with slide valve on top of
cylinder, and all the gearing carried out
side. The average speed which the loco
motive is expected to make is between
seventy-two and se~venty-eight miles per
hour with a train of loaded coaches.
OF course if the French engine aver
ages the speed expected she will be able
to make ''spurts" exceeding anything on
record .-Boston Advertiser.

Recently, in the evolution of modern
sports, we have heard also of the pitchers
arm and the lawn tennis elbow. Nature,
it seems, hath her peculiar revenge for
each separate pastime carried to excess.
And as we are entering, apparently, on an
epoch of sports, we may expect to find
medical science and medical practitioners
enriched by various strange and quaint
maladies of amusements. We already
know of the rope jumpers heart disease,

The rigid economy demanded by the
sorts of queer appliances. 1t was espe-
cially in the direction of the DOCTORS bills
that the most strenuous efforts were made
to save the expenditure of money. There
were scores of home remedies in use, many
of which were of the most astonishing
character, and all of which were the pre-
scription of the old ladies'. Some form of
patent medicine was always in favor, from
opodeldoc to pain killers and cholagogue.
One favorite remedy for the stopping of
severe vomiting may be mentioned as one
that was very popular. 1t was the kill
ing of a chicken, and the boiling Of it,
feathers, blood, entrails and vermin, for n
soup of which the patient was to take a
teaspoonful every fifteen minutes. Lo-
bella, thoroughwort and NORWOOD were
in common use, n were prescribed for
almost every ailment That they effected
many cures is not to be doubted; they
were so bitter, 50 nauseating, that the
patient generally recovered. or thought he
did, in time to avoid n second dose.
In the spring the blood had to be looked
after. EPSON salts and cider were a
favorite purifier, to be taken three times a
day. Dandelions, s~arsaparilla and blood
root, STEPPED in whisky, boneset, ''sassa-
move the distractions of winter.

When from this dear earth l shall journey out
To that still dearcr country of the dead,

love this world, yet shall l love to go
And meet the friends who wait for me, I know.
And so for me there is no sting to death,
And so the grave has lost it's victory;
1t is but crossing, with a bated breath,
And white, set face, n little strip of sea,
To find the loved ones waiting on the shore,
More beautiful, more precious than before.

The new series of postage stamps soon
to be issued will vary very little from the
designs now in use. The viguettes will
not be changed at all, and the portraits
on the new stamps will be identical with
those now in use. The chief object of the
change viii be to make the new series OF
adhesive stamps conform to those en-.
bossed upon the envelopes now used from

be several changes in the colors employed.
The most noticeable of those will be the
